¹⁶ Take warning, from this doom without reprieve;
Recite the verse: “How many did they leave!” * ¹⁷ Tugháchár, prince fulfilled with strength and zeal,
Hath caused the pillars of their power to reel.

¹⁸ His flashing falchion on their flesh did feed,
And none would hold him guilty for the deed.

¹⁹ Our Shaykh's prediction found fulfilment there,
What time he saw them rob him of his share;

That holy man, our lord Jamálu'd-Dín³, *
Aided by God, endowed with angel's mien,

²¹ Devoted, walking ever in the way
Of Him the fishes in their seas obey.

²² I penned this satire, hoping to attain
The Eternal Gardens' lake-encompassed plain,

²³ And to refute that poet's words untrue
Who said, ‘Turn Jews, for Heaven hath turned a Jew.’”
